The Arrowverse just got a little bit more dangerous, with the announcement that Katee Sackhoff is joining the cast of The Flash in a recurring capacity as DC villain Blacksmith.

As EW reports, she will make her debut in the fifth episode of The Flash's upcoming fourth season, titled "Girls Night Out," which will also feature a guest appearance from Arrow's Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards).

The comic book version of Blacksmith, whose real name is Amunet Black, is one of the Flash's Rogues from the pre-Flashpoint days, and has the power to fuse organic and inorganic material — most commonly using this power to bond metal to flesh.

She also has control over an underground black market known as the Network operating in both Central and Keystone cities in the comics. According to EW, Amunet runs an underground black market for the world's villains, and has a few metahumans under her control.
